Cali started by taking the stand that we need to reduce oil production, like it or not. No more negotiation, it's time to reduce.
Jayswin correctly pointed out that the US is not reducing oil production, they are (effectively) reducing
Canadian oil production with very protectionist strategies, while simultaneously running the taps wide open at home. And US citizens seem completely unaware of this fact (Canadians as well).
Cali then pretty much did a full reversal, by admitting that yes, the US has been protectionist, as opposed to trying to cut back. And then said Alberta should do the same. I am not sure how this view reconciles with needing to reduce, but yes, as far as each is in competition with the other, both sides
should in fact be trying to produce as much as possible. The world is still using oil, so each producing nation should be working to get much of
theirs out of the ground as quickly as possible.
Which is exactly what Alberta has been trying to tell the rest of Canada, but Canada is too stupid to listen.
Then you show up with the above comment, clearly oblivious to what actually transpired with this conversation. I am going to go ahead and guess that you live in BC, as you just did a perfect impression of the completely clueless, from a Canadian perspective, view of the situation that we have been hearing from BC for some time.
